Specialties
Best Cellars isn’t just a bookstore. And it’s not just a bar. It’s an experience you didn’t know Dodge City was missing.
We’re a curated bookstore in the front and a cozy café-style gathering space in the back — serving handcrafted cocktails, thoughtful mocktails (including lower-sugar options), wine, and elevated light bites. You can sip a pomegranate margarita while flipping through a thriller, meet friends for charcuterie and conversation, or grab a salad and stay awhile.
What makes us different? Intention.
Every book on our shelves is hand-selected. Our food is made with care. Our space is designed to feel welcoming but refined — warm lighting, lounge seating, plants, games, and room to breathe. You don’t need to “be a reader” to belong here. You just need a reason to pause.
We host themed nights, book clubs, wine tastings, brunch events, and community gatherings that bring people together without the noise of a typical bar scene. It’s connection without chaos. Elevated without pretentiousness.
If you’re looking for something different — a place to unwind, celebrate, meet, read, sip, or simply exist comfortably — Best Cellars is your landing place.
Come see why people walk in curious… and leave planning their next visit.
History
Established in 2024.
Best Cellars was founded with a simple but bold idea: create the kind of space we wished existed in Dodge City. As lifelong lovers of books, good wine, and meaningful conversation, we saw an opportunity to blend them into one welcoming destination. What started as a dream to bring something different to our community became a bookstore and café-style bar designed for connection. We opened our doors to offer more than products — we wanted to offer a pause. A place to gather, celebrate, read, sip, and feel at home. Built on intention, creativity, and community, Best Cellars continues to grow as a unique space where stories are shared — both on the page and across the table.
